The Maryland Request for Writ of Garnishment of Wages is a form issued by a court to order an employer to withhold a portion of an employee’s wages to satisfy a debt. The employer is then required to make periodic payments to the court until the debt is paid in full. This form is generally used in situations where the debtor has not responded to a court summons or has failed to make payment on a court judgment. There are two main types of Maryland Request for Writ of Garnishment of Wages: prejudgment and post-judgment. A pre-judgment writ of garnishment is an order to withhold wages prior to a court judgment, while a post-judgment writ is an order to withhold wages following a court judgment. Both types of writs require the employer to deduct a portion of the employee’s wages and remit it to the court until the debt is paid in full.
